Chapter 3; The wit of the Beastmaster (thanks to the book friends for the tips.) )
"If you really don't die, you won't die." Ye Tian sighed and thought in his heart. The eyes that looked at Zhao Zhen were also full of sympathy.
At this time, Ye Tian was standing next to Zhao Zhen, but because he was in a state of invisibility, no one found him.
In the movie, if it weren't for Zhao Zhen's death, if he had to see the gluttonous appearance, the beastmaster might not have come to Bianliang City, after all, Bianliang City is 800 miles away from the Great Wall of Hook Mountain, and there are so many cities in Song City, there are more places they can go.
But it was because there was a gluttonous beast in Bianliang City, and they also took the magnet to death, so that the gluttonous beast sent a message to the beastmaster, causing the gluttonous beast king to change the direction of progress at zero hour. Bianliang City wouldn't have died so many people.
It can be seen from the last plot of the movie that the entire Bianliang, the plan is that everyone is dead, and all of them are eaten clean by gluttony.
And the reason is because of Zhao Zhen's death.
There is gluttony in this extermination operation, and there is Liaojin Khitan outside, no wonder the Northern Song Dynasty will perish, it is not strange at all.
"Retreat." With the noise of a eunuch. The people in the hall began to slowly withdraw, and Zhao Zhen also retreated back to his study with the support of the palace maid.
The emperor has a Quartet every day to review, and they don't have much time to rest.
Glancing at the departing people, Ye Tian chuckled at the corner of his mouth and disappeared into the Jinluan Palace.
—————————
"It's ridiculous, how could Your Majesty have to look at things." Looking at Lord Shen below, Shao Yunfeng's face was gloomy.
In order to catch this gluttonous beast soldier, they can be said to have gone through several twists and turns, but they didn't expect that they had just caught this beast soldier, and they were ready to study it, after all, this was the first gluttonous beast soldier in history to be captured alive, but they didn't expect the emperor's order to come.
Ask them to call out the beast soldiers and let Lord Shen Congwen bring them back to Shengjing City for His Majesty to see.
Shao Yunfeng even had the heart to kill the person who told the emperor the news, the gluttonous beast soldiers were already dangerous, if it weren't for the magnet that put it into a deep sleep, they wouldn't have been able to capture it alive.
"General Shao, please pay attention to your words before speaking." Shen Congwen pretended to remind on the side.
But listening to that, it's a little more threatening.
Although he Shao Yunfeng has a very high prestige in the army, as long as the emperor gives an order, he will be directly beaten back to his original form. The emperor is alone in this world, no matter how powerful he Shao Yunfeng is, no matter how he has an identity, he can't match the emperor's words.
Unless, he replaces this emperor.
But is it possible? He Shao Yunfeng is loyal to Da Song, don't talk about such a thing, it is completely unthinkable.
Although he was very reluctant, he still could not disobey the emperor's order.
In the end, everyone could only look angry and watch Shen Congwen take a team of soldiers and escort the iron cage where the gluttonous beast soldiers were imprisoned.
Shao Yunfeng and the others behind him looked worried, but they were helpless.
Wang Junshi Lin Mei and other generals also frowned, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts, as if something bad was going to happen.
didn't go far before Shen Congwen asked everyone to stop. He Shen Congwen was an official in the court, and he didn't know anything about fighting, and he didn't have any skills. However, now that he has a live gluttonous beast soldier in his hand, he also wants to see what the gluttonous beast soldier really looks like.
Shen Congwen; "Open the iron cage, I want to see what the monster that can make General Shao and them frown tightly, what it looks like."
"But, my lord, if you do this, if you accidentally get into any danger, little one." The subordinate said in embarrassment.
"Open up, I'll take care of something."
"Yes~Yes." Although several soldiers were embarrassed, they still obeyed Shen Congwen's orders and opened the cage.
After all, the distant official is not as good as the current official.
Several soldiers lifted the canvas from the cage and began to unlock it.
As the iron cage opened, a huge bronze-colored monster appeared in front of everyone.
He looked like a lizard, but not a lizard, with a high bulge on his back and dark green fur covering his back like a green blanket. Some strange lines cover its waist. And its eyes are even more strange, they don't grow on the head, but on the skin above the front paws.
The mouth lines are huge, and you can imagine how big it will be once he opens his mouth. There is a fierce beast aura all over his body, brutal and bloodthirsty.
Even if it closed its eyes tightly at the moment, as if it was asleep, it still looked at Shen Congwen and the others' scalp numb.
Shen Congwen was still interested in it now, so he directly asked a few people to cover it with a cloth, and set off directly on the road.
The distance of more than 800 miles, no matter how Shen Congwen was in a hurry, it still took two days to return to Bianliang.
And the Great Wall of Gowu Mountain, 800 miles away, is engaged in a fierce battle. General Lin Meilin commanded the crowd, because Shao Yunfeng had been seriously injured in the gluttonous sneak attack last night and could not continue to lead the army. Before leaving, he ordered everyone to obey Lin Mei's words.
Lin Mei was raised by him since he was a child, and he knows Lin Mei very well.
Although she is only a woman, she has this determination and ruthlessness that does not belong to men, as long as it is something she recognizes, she will do her best to complete it. And Lin Mei is smart, with the assistance of Wang Junshi, he believes that Lin Mei can successfully keep gluttony out of the Great Wall.
Unfortunately, his idea was doomed to failure, because gluttony is not a beast that can only attack, they are commanded by a wise beastmaster, and wisdom means that he can use stratagem.
That night, the sky was completely dark, the moon had just shone brightly, and the city wall was still always on the alert for gluttonous sneak attacks, so the entire Great Wall, within a radius of dozens of miles, was brightly lit.
The lanterns on the city walls were hung high so that the soldiers could clearly see the situation below the city walls. Most of the soldiers who were tired of Ye Tian had already rested. Only a small number of soldiers were still fighting hard and sticking to their posts to prevent a sudden attack by gluttony.
"Humph"
Below, in a dead corner of the city wall, a few gluttons lay there secretly, digging the brick walls of the city wall again and again with their sharp claws. The sturdy walls, in front of their sharp front paws, were like instant noodles, and they were caught in powder in a few clicks.
After a few minutes, a large hole several meters high appeared in the wall.
Half an hour later, a large hole twice as large as before appeared on the city wall, and the entire passage had been completely opened, as long as you followed this passage, you could cross the Great Wall and go to the hinterland of the Central Plains, where there were countless people and animals that could be used as food.
"Buzz." A gluttonous beast soldier stood in place, the lines on his back kept vibrating, and an invisible wave centered on it and emitted outward. The gluttonous beast king, who was dozens of miles away, sensed it directly.
The two beasts are like two radios, communicating dozens of miles apart.
With a shock behind the Gluttonous Beast King, all the Gluttonous Beast Soldiers slowly dived like the Great Wall in a neat and soft voice like soldiers who had received orders.
Around the Beastmaster, more than a dozen gluttonous beast soldiers, several times larger than the ordinary gluttonous beast soldiers, tightly guarded the gluttonous beast king, just like guards, their huge ears, when an attack came, would instantly unfold, protecting the beastmaster in the middle and protecting its safety.
They are a special gluttonous defense class, specially responsible for protecting the safety of the Beastmaster, their huge ears, even if they are compared to steel, are no worse at all, the hard skin, plus the bones inside are as hard as diamonds, even if it is bombarded by missiles, they can protect the Beastmaster unharmed, and they themselves will not be injured even a little.
From the movie when they attacked the Great Wall, and the Praetorian Guards bombarded with iron balls, and there was no at all, you can see how amazing their defensive power is.
With a huge force of nearly a thousand meters, coupled with the impact of falling from a high place to a low place, even a tank would have to be scrapped, but they still protected the Beastmaster unharmed, which shows how amazing their defense is.
If it weren't for the weakness of gluttony falling asleep when they encountered a magnet, Lin Mei and they wouldn't have been able to kill them at all.
If it weren't for gluttony having this weakness, Ye Tian was sure that this world would end sooner or later. The two million people in Bianliang City are estimated to be almost fed by gluttony, and as soon as the gluttonous beast king is full, he will reproduce in large numbers.
At that time, the number of gluttonous beast soldiers was even greater, the Khitans, the Romans, the Turks, the European continent, and the African continent. Wherever anyone can stop them, it is estimated that they will be eaten cleanly.
Under the command of the beastmaster, tens of thousands of gluttonous beast soldiers, and then the vast night, orderly through the passage on the city wall.
The soldiers above didn't notice it at all, because they wouldn't have thought that gluttony would play with them.
Their concept is still that they are beasts, but they are large in number and strong in attack, and they don't know that gluttony is no longer confronted with them, and they play yin.
As if sensing something, in Bianliang City, the gluttonous beast soldier who was imprisoned in the dungeon and was firmly guarded, suddenly opened his eyes, and then fell asleep again. Even if Zhou Wei stood with dozens of soldiers, but no one noticed this, and even if he did, he didn't take it seriously.
The next morning, early in the morning, Lin Mei had already woken up, and the other generals also woke up, including the two gringos, but they didn't get up earlier than Lin Mei and the others, because he was going to do something they had been planning for a long time, stealing black powder and escaping.
In the course of a few days, coupled with the results of the joint battle, William and Perrault had gained the trust of Lin Mei, but what they didn't know was that the two foreigners were playing black powder.
However, William felt that Perrault's idea was not a hindsight, so he did not agree, so the three of them had an argument when stealing black powder, and William was directly knocked unconscious by Perrault in the arsenal.
On the other side, the guards on the city wall finally noticed the anomaly below.
And Lin Mei and others also learned about the city wall being dug through.
Wang Junshi; "I didn't expect that their first two attacks were just feints, the purpose was to paralyze us, we were all fooled, after crossing the Great Wall, Bianliang has their endless food, and the consequences are unimaginable."
Deng Xuan's face frowned; "Even if my cavalry is fast, it will take two days to reach Bianliang, and they must be faster than us."
Hearing Deng Xuan's words, everyone's hearts sank.
Among the Praetorian Guards, the Bear Army was the strongest defender of the city, and the Eagle Army was a crossbow soldier who was good at defending the city. The Tigers are adept at controlling heavy traps. The Crane Army is composed entirely of female soldiers, and the main attack is air raids. The Deer Army is recognized as the strongest melee and the strongest charge among the Praetorian Guards.
The cavalry of the Deer Army is even more powerful. Of the five armies, only they are the most mobile, let alone if the deer army can't keep up with the gluttony.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were heavy. Many of them have family members in Bianliang City, and if they go to Bianliang City, they can't imagine that scene.
Wang Junshi felt the north wind whistling outside, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Opening; "The wind is strong now, and the north wind will blow all day tomorrow, and we must use new inventions to stop gluttony."
LIN Mei; "How long does it take to get to Bianliang?"
"If the wind is down, it will be there in about three hours."
General Wu; "If you can live."
Although General Wu's words are not good, they are indeed the truth, and their so-called new invention is a kind of thing that uses gunpowder as fuel, like a hot air balloon, but that thing is extremely unstable and can easily explode.
And because of the great power of the explosion, the person standing on it is basically certain to die, even if he does not die, falling from a height of hundreds of meters is enough to kill him.
So they really don't want to take this thing out if it's not necessary.
But now, the only tool that can stop them before the gluttony reaches Bianliang City is that one.
Even if they go on horseback, it will only take a day, and it is estimated that by the time they reach Bianliang, Bianliang will have already turned into a dead city.
However, Lin Mei knew that they had no choice. If Bianliang is finished, then they are finished.
"Ready to go."
Lin Mei gave an order, and all the troops immediately took action.
